A Fun Find

We perused a fine art show. (We enjoyed the historic house it was located in much more than the art.)

We visited a new antique store located in an old bank. (I found a beautiful nativity picture that got added to my Christmas list.)

We visited a small-town store's Christmas open house. (And I had Déjà vu. I think they were selling all of the same stuff as last year. Same decorations as last year. Same cookies as last year.)

We then tried to visit a second hand store that I have been wanting to stop at. (Note the word tried. We missed the 3:00 closing time by about 3 minutes.)

And then, we found the real treasure of the day. It was especially fun because we didn't even know that we were going to stumble upon it. It is called Objects, and it is located at 116 S. Main in Eureka, IL.

Loved it.

Love the overall style.
Love the unique handmade items.
Love that the items are made by over 25 local artists.
Love the jewelry, hats, clothing, decor, quilts, and wall art.
Love the layout of the store.
Love the courteous lady working this afternoon.
Love that she offered us hot wassail.
Love that ALL of the owner's profits go to support an orphanage in Peru.

Loved it!

It is exactly the kind of store that I would love to be a part of. Dreams :)

"Not all are called to be artists in the specific sense of the term. Yet, as Genesis has it, all men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece." -Saint John Paul the Great
